Case Summary:

Our client from Mexico, a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences had a proposed endeavor to develop a highly quantitative understanding of the interactions between cancer cells and the immune system using his expertise in high-resolution microscopy, high-throughput flow cytometry, and mathematical modeling to design cancer immunotherapies tailored to individual patients that are more effective than current therapies. This was a clear indication for our team that his research was and will continue to be relevant to the United States. So, while preparing his NIW (National Interest Waiver) application, we made sure to include details of his research endeavor for this purpose.

Our team has dealt with thousands of NIW cases, and also included the following from their experience of previous adjudication processes:

  • Current CVs
  • Transcripts from colleges and universities
  • Certificates of experience and excellence
  • Details of publication and citation history
  • Details of peer review experience
  • Details of funding sources
  • Letters of recommendation from experts in his field
Thus, our team was able to find the following information for our client’s petition packet before the adjudication:
  • His research has resulted in 3 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored) and 1 book chapter (first-authored).
  • These publications have been cited a total of 156 times according to Google Scholar.
  • His study has also been supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.
  • He had received letters of support from 2 other experts in his area of expertise, confirming that our client’s record of successful research has well positioned him to continue advancing his intended research work here in the United States which gave weight to our arguments in his favor.
Thus, we were able to prove the national worth of his research endeavors. We are glad to have had this opportunity of aiding him, and we wish him the very best in all future endeavors.
